1964 16' Nauset

PROJECT 62 - DEPOSIT RECEIVED

(photos will be uploaded upon project completion)

This all-original Classic Boston Whaler 1964 Nauset was located in Eugene, Oregon from the second owner. She was originally purchased in Minnesota and sold to the second owner in 1984. She was used exclusively on Minnesota lakes from 1964-2002. In 2002, the second owner moved her to Eugene, Oregon and placed her in indoor storage where she remained until we acquired her. She has been stored inside under cover for her entire life, hasn’t been used since 2002, and she has never seen saltwater. She has not been modified in anyway and retains all her original components.

The Classic Boston Whaler Nauset model was introduced in 1960 and began the center console revolution in the boating industry. Prior to the Boston Whaler 16’ center consoles (Nauset, Sakonnet, Eastport), the center console design did not exist in the boating industry. Nauset interiors came standard with a mahogany fixed pilot seat, mahogany center console with windshield and mahogany bow locker cover.

Other original standard features include stainless steel side railings, Perko bow light, Kainer stainless steel pole stern light, Acco rotary helm, Nautalloy steering wheel and a Morse MT-2 engine control. This Nauset is factory optioned with the forward stainless steel bow railing, Airguide speedometer and Ritchie Explorer Model 15 compass.

This Nauset is equipped with a low hour 1981 Johnson 3-cylinder 70hp outboard with hydraulic power trim/tilt and electric start/choke. The motor has 120 psi compression across all 3 cylinders. The inline 3-cylinders have a reputation as one of OMC’s best outboards ever produced with excellent power/weight ratio. The Johnson has been fully serviced and is excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition with zero rust/corrosion and retains glossy original paint.

Rounding out the package is the original Gator trailer in excellent condition with new tires, wheels, bearings, and bearing buddies.

All original, freshwater Nauset models which retain all their original features and have not been modified or abused are extremely difficult to come by. This Nauset draws significant attention, and we know she will make her next family quite happy.
